Brando and Richard Pryor were lovers in 70s, admits comic’s widow
MARLON Brando had a sexual fling with the comedian Richard Pryor, it has emerged.
The comic’s widow confirmed that claims of an encounter between the pair by music producer Quincy Jones earlier this week were correct.
Yesterday Jennifer Lee Pryor said of her late husband’s tryst with Brando: ‘It was the 70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you’d **** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.’
Quaalude is the brand name of sedative and hypnotic medication methaqualone. It was very popular as a recreational drug in the 60s and 70s.
Jones had told New York Magazine that the star of Last Tango in Paris – known for its infamous sex scene – would ‘ **** anything...a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor.
Marvin Gaye’. Yesterday, Miss Lee Pryor insisted her husband, who died in 2005, would have no shame over Jones’s revelation as he was always very open about his sexuality.
She said he documented his sexual escapades extensively in private diaries, which she plans to publish later this year.
Godfather star Brando, who died in 2004, confirmed his own ‘homosexual experiences’ in an interview in 1976, adding ‘and I am not ashamed’.
